Excavation services for homes in Fairfield, Connecticut
What Is Excavation?
Excavation services involve more than just hauling dirt. At Fairfield County Excavation we are involved in various levels of excavation including site preparation, trenching, grading, and other soil-related tasks. We achieve all this using specialized heavy equipment.
On a site preparation project, our portion of work usually begins once the crew has determined the lot and house boundaries. We are responsible for extracting soil to the depth needed for a new foundation as well as ensuring that all the soil is firm by conducting compaction tests. If the soil is not compacted enough we use compaction equipment to ensure that it is.
When excavating the ground we have to ensure that the digging requirements are precise therefore an excavation contractor should be able to use a transit and level that compares to the grade posted by a survey crew.
After footers and stem walls are put in place for the foundation, we are responsible for backfilling around the new foundation.
Other services we offer include:
- Construction
- Demolition
- Subdivision
We also are involved in property excavation for:
- Driveways
- Swimming Pools
- Lot and Yard Grading

When excavation is done with the wrong equipment in locations where underground utilities are situated, it increases the potential risk of damaging utility lines and can result in property damage, death or bodily harm.
